P2ge News Digest NelSan ~ Wednesday, April 27,1988 Dukakis gaining Jackson’s voters PHILADELPHIA — Mich eal Dukakis routed Jesse Jackson in the Pennsylvania Democratic pri mary Tuesday night, certifying his status as presidential front-runner. George Bush won a resounding Re publican victory and predicted the state would deliver the final delegates needed to clinch the nomination. Jackson was gaining 27 percent of the Democratic vote and said he in tended to compete through the end of the primary season on June 7. “The race is not to the swift and the strong,” he said. “I’m a long-distance runner. It’s too close now to turn around.” Network polling place interviews contained news that was as good for Dukakis as his vote totals. Though Jackson gained more than 90 percent support from blacks, ABC polling analyst Doug Muzzio said that for the first time in the campaign season, Dukakis was winning a ma jority of voters who cited the poor and elderly as their chief concerns — voters Jackson won in prior contests. He said Dukakis also was winning voters who cited strong leadership and ability to make a change, a group that Jackson usually won in earlier races. Bush was gaining 80 percent to 11 percent for dropout Sen. Bob Dole and 9 percent for former television evangelist Pat Robertson. President Reagan agreed to drop his studied show of neutrality and bestow his blessings on his vice presi dent in a White House meeting. The vice president campaigned across Ohio during the day. The Associated Press delegate survey indicated that by winning most of the delegates at stake, Bush would make his nomination a mathe matical certainty. Dukakis sought a large majority of the 178 Democratic National Convention delegates at stake in a drive to pad his lead over Jackson. Delegates were all that mat tered in the Republican race, where Bush long ago routed his rivals to seize command over the race for the nomination. The Massachusetts governor said his Pennsylvania victory was “a very big boost, particularly in a state that’s been a bell weather state in the general elections.” Soviets fear U.S. politics to stymie summit WASHINGTON — Soviet offi cials drudgingly are giving up hope of reaching agreement with President Reagan to sharply cut nuclear arse nals and now fear the proposed deal will fall victim to the U.S. political process. “The problem is that the American position is moving not forward but backward,” said Valentin Falin, chairman of the Soviet Union’s semi official Novosti news agency. “As far as I can see, we don’t have enough time to prepare any formal treaty” before the Moscow summit May 29 June 2. And Falin, in an interview on Monday, worried that Reagan may revert to the Kremlin-bashing of his early years in office, when he branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire.” Falin, a non-voting member of the policy making Soviet central Com mittee and former Soviet ambassador to West Germany, said the American I political process bears some blame for what he called time wasted since the summit in Washington last De cember. “Certainly, we cannot accomplish in the following four weeks what we have failed to do in four months,” Falin said. “Certainly, we cannot expect miracles.” “In your country, it is a dead politi cal season,” Falin added. “Every four years in your political life, one year is wasted.” AT best, Falin said, the Moscow summit may produce a “framework. .. for the development of future nego tiations. This will make negotiations easier.” But no Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty is likely by the end of the year, and it is doubtful that Reagan and Soviet Communist Party General Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev would meet again for a summit after Moscow, he said. After the Moscow summit, ‘‘I do not think that your president will have enough authority to make obligations which would have to be fulfilled by his successor,” Falin said. The Soviet official also criticized a U.S. intelligence report saying the Soviet economy has not improved despite economic reforms by Gor bachev. Falin said the joint report by the CIA and Pentagon analysts might have been designed ‘‘to show the president that the Soviet Union is almost on its deathbed and it needs just another push, that he should not talk with the Soviet Union, but push it.” Falin challenged the pessimistic U.S. intelligence report, and said that under Gorbachev, industrial produc tion rose more than 4 percent last year and agricultural production was up 9 percent.
